DocPortal is a simple sample application of MyCoRe, which implements a publication server with typical Dublin Core metadata fields and the three object types “document”, “author” and “institution”. This application is to be seen as an example and reference, but not as a directly productively usable document server.

MILESS is an institutional content repository developed at the university of Duisburg-Essen, and the “father” of MyCoRe. The institutions using the MILESS software built the MyCoRe community later. MILESS has its own software components, most part of the functionality comes from the MyCoRe kernel that is developed within the community.
